| Title: | Si la Esperanza Fuese Suficiente. |
| Abstract: | This is the Spanish language version of IF HOPE WERE ENOUGH, with Spanish narration and dubbed interviews. The Women's Caucus for Gender Justice, in association with WITNESS, produced
this video for the purposes of education, advocacy and capacity building as part of the organization's outreach efforts to promote the International Criminal Court. SI LA ESPERANZA FUESE
SUFICIENTE captures the historic importance of women coming together to change the structure and substance of the International Criminal Court so that it can become a mechanism to address
violations of women's human rights at the international level. Through the voices of women survivors of historic and ongoing violence in both armed conflict situations and peacetime, the video
documents the inspiring struggle towards justice and the end of impunity for violence against women. [RT 34:15] |

| Notes: | The Women's Caucus was formed in February 1997, to intervene in the ongoing Preparatory Committee meetings for the establishment of an International Criminal Court at the United Nations.
Women realized that without an organized caucus, women's concerns would not be actively defended in the documents and process of creation of an International Criminal Court. The legal issues in
the ICC are complex and sensitive. They require people from different legal systems and cultures to arrive at a consensus on specific issues that may challenge local traditions or beliefs. The
gender-related issues are particularly sensitive, as they are not as well understood. Gender-related crimes are often perceived to be private or individual crimes that do not rise to the level
of international human rights law, or that are perceived to be taken care of by a "neutral" statute. However, the experience of women has been that neutrality usually results in leaving out
crimes against women and the ways that women, because of their socially constructed roles in society, are disproportionately affected. It was these concerns that the Women's Caucus sought to
address in the process of creation of an International Criminal Court. By advocating the codification of crimes of sexual, reproductive and gender violence, and inclusion of gender sensitive
processes and criteria for personnel, the Caucus tried to ensure that the Court has capacity to implement justice for women. |
